Poison

It boils within 
Slowly poisoning all it touches
Corrupting all that is within
It has now reached a new level

A level i never thought existed
For it has boiled over everything 
Everything i have, everything i worked to keep 
For i am now totally corrupted

Drowning in poison 
The poison of my life 
The poison you help me create
The poison that has been growing within me

Anger, anger is that poison
The poison that is eating me alive 
Corrupting everything, every cell of me 
Turning me into a corruption 
Corruption of poison
